  1. from my perspective life has the good aspect and the bad aspect .Every aspect has to offer something useful ,this is to say that joys offer positive feelings while the unbearble moments can make you observant, wise, besides you you might not kneel down easily .Every stage in the life shapes our personality .To conclude the best life might be made by right desicions which offer satisfying

  2. 1)In my opinion Ellen Glasgow is a pessimistic woman who may have not a good time being an adult so she wrote that quotation in order to express her feelings and thoughts about being a child.I think that her words show how sad and depressed this woman is because of the fact that she strongly believes that no other age group can offer you good experiences, only childhood

  3. 1)In my opinion I believe that a person can obtain more important experience as it is growing. When someone is in chlidhood has less thing in which needs to care of. A child lives happy-go-lucky , playing with friends a lot of in free time and doing outdoor activities . The only thing that focus on is all about school.When chlidren become adults some things in life changes . Life is more hard and tough .There are a lot of thing which they have to do in a row, for instance they should go to study at the university , to get a degree and after that they should work on what they studied. Generally, I think thet everytime in your life gives you very important experiences which they should use in a good way.

    2)It is tough to be a parent of an adolescent.First of all, being a parent is so much difficult no matter how what age is your chlid. Escpecially,if you your chlid is a teenagers you need to be very patient. It doesn not need particular qualities to bring up your teenagers chlid but you have to listen to them and understand their worries about life. It is very good idea that to be by their sides with a lot of love.

  4. Being parent is a big deal.It seems to me that this is the most important role because they have to prepare their children to be good residents. If i was a parent i might be scared and anxious because of the responsibilities especially being a parent of a adolescent owing to emotional pains and the bodily changes.I really want to be the type of parent who do not put pressure on her teenager otherwise she will be supporting.These thoughts make me more grateful for my mother' efforts , as my mother i wanted to be patient and fair because teens want desperately they parents have qualities like them.

  5. Being a parent of an adolescent is an extremely demanding role, for example parents should learn how to keep the balance between amussement and guidance. In my opinion the specific age hides many dangeres and parents shoyd try to protect their children from them.They also should make an effort to communicate with their children and understand their feelings and needs. To end up If I were a parent of an adolescent I would propably be nice and patient with them as i needed when I was in adolescence

  6. The childhood is the most innocent period in our lives.Kids play,laugh and accept love from elders.They do no have responsibilities and they can live only with someone to take care of them.
    The quotation 'The few joys of childhood is the best that life has to offer ' i suppose is written from an adult who do not have an easy life and probably is pessimistic for the future.I do not believe that childhood offers the most joyful moments in people's life because kids can not appreciate that they are happy and free.When kids grow up and have to be independent ,then they miss the times when their reality was more simpler.
    The key for have a joyful life is to accept your problems even they are serious and go on.It is such a relief when a solution are founded that someone can say that is joyful too.In other words happiness comes after sadness,like the rainbow after the storm.

  7. My opion is that this quotation is not real.Children do not control their feelings aw a adult.They have not rationality in their behavior and this is problem since they do not uderstand,think and fell the life.There is just only play in childhood.It must be tough to be a parent of adolescent cause to genenation gap.Adolescent have strange behavior with their parents.They are boisterous,intolerable and there is no balance eact other.maybe i will try to understand the other side and i will try to help them.

  8. 1. I do not agree with the view expressed in this quotation because I feel like childhood is not the most amazing time of your life. When you are a child your knowledge is not fully developed and you can not understand certain things and feelings. You are connected to your parents and so are they to you.As a child you are not able to appreciate the joys life offers you. In addition ,when you grow up you realise that life is full of new experiences and as far as I am concerned, if you cannot see this as an adult you need to low your expectations in life and enjoy the little things.

    2. In my opimion to be the parent of an adolescent might feel like you have to live with a stranger inside your child's body.It will get stressful and weird sometimes.you cannot control it or ignore it . However you have to be as protective as possible until it is over. if I was a parent I would be calm , understanding and helpful for my child as he/she phases the difficulties this age has. For instance, to prevent something that can upset her/him, I would guide him/her without making her/him feel alienated and be as suppotive as I can.
